First of all, I do think native English speakers who want to be an English language teacher of ESL or EFL need to LEARN grammar and also learn to know how and why sentences structure. Being capable to speak the language doesn’t mean being able to teach. Even people who speak English as their first language make grammatical mistakes. When they understand the grammar structure, they’ll grow their empathy and understanding of why ESL and EFL students make grammatical mistakes and why they want to know the explanation of sentences structure. Do NOT say “Stupid” to ESL or EFL students when they make mistakes. Do NOT say “I just know it” when they ask for explanations and you don’t know how. Then I don’t think you’re a hard-working teacher. Do your research and STUDY!
Secondly, in fact, the population of ESL and EFL is larger than that of who speak English as their first language. Who uses the correct language? And why users of ESL and EFL should be called “non-native”? “Native” and “Non-native” are actually improper names to define the users of English. Chomsky’s (English) native speaker fallacy results in racial discrimination.
Ahhh, I so much want to go back to Brighton to study again!!!
